Single character &Var
|
From what I understood of the help file for pattern matching,
&?OneChar
should match a single character and store it in the @OneChar variable. This doesn't work - anyone know what I am doing wrong, or if this is a bug? I have gotten around it, but I am surprised it doesn't work.
Thanks,
Selberhad |

You're right, it doesn't work so I guess you can call it a bug. Use (?) instead, and make the variable assignment in the Value section (that's probably your workaround anyway).
#TR {(?)} {#VAR OneChar %1} |

SerpentDrago: If you check out the help file, they say a wildcard character can be inserted between the & and the name of a &VarName style pattern, in order to restrict it to the type of the wildcard.
LightBulb: Thanks =). Yes, that was my workaround. |
